Treasury Announces Grant Recipients of Financial Education Innovation Fund For Immediate Release - August 17, 2015 Treasury Announces Grant Recipients Of Financial Education Innovation Fund Division of Banks Settlement Funds to Expand Financial Literacy for Young Consumers BOSTON, MA – State Treasurer Deborah B. Goldberg announced today the recipients of the Financial Education Innovation Fund, an initiative that will provide grants to expand financial literacy fairs in high schools across the Commonwealth. The grants are funded from the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation through its Division of Banks settlement over alleged unlawful lending practices. “I have experienced firsthand the critical skills these ‘Credit for Life’ fairs teach our high school students,” said Treasurer Goldberg. “These new grants will help students to budget their money responsibly and make informed financial decisions as they prepare to enter college or begin their careers.” Through an extensive application process that culminated in June, the Treasurer’s Office awarded 20 high schools across the Commonwealth nearly $70,000 in grant money to expand upon or establish programs. “The Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation through its Division of Banks is proud to support the expansion of financial education initiatives at the high school level in the Commonwealth,” said Undersecretary John Chapman. “The ‘Credit for Life’ fairs are fun and interactive for the students who participate, and I look forward to continuing our partnership with Treasurer Goldberg on future financial education initiatives.” Originally announced the fund was $50,000, but due to the number and quality of the applications received the fund was expanded to $70,000. The innovation fund will be an ongoing effort to expand financial literacy, so schools will have the opportunity to apply next year. These events are most commonly known as “Credit for Life” fairs. They are designed to be an innovative and effective way for students to learn about making real world decisions when it comes to saving, spending, and budgeting their money based on a range of career choices and lifestyle decisions.

  • Annual Report 2019 Unitedunited Wayway Youthyouth Ventureventure
    Photo by MWCC Annual Report 2019 UnitedUnited WayWay YouthYouth VentureVenture United Way Youth Venture (UWYV) is a three-way partnership between Mount Wachusett Community College (MWCC), the United Way of North Central Massachusetts, and Ashoka’s Youth Venture, which serves as the international model for Youth Venture programming. Young people involved in UWYV combine their passions and skills to address a problem they see in their community through an entirely youth-led and youth-created social venture. Youth, from elementary through college, are supported in this opportunity through intensive skill- building workshops, hands-on learning, consistent mentorship, and seed funding granted to them after a presentation with community leaders. All of these supports help young people to launch their idea from dream to reality. Valuable life lessons are delivered through close collaboration with our partnering school districts, resulting in development of leadership skills, confidence, and a sense of empowerment. Their experience as a changemaker prepares them to be engaged members of society, and to succeed in college and future careers. “A large majority of our school’s Venturers are students who are somewhat ‘disenfranchised’ as they are either not socially apt, academically successful, or they tend to have disciplinary problems. Oftentimes, these students are disengaged both in and out of the classroom. However, when they get involved in UWYV they display a noticable change in attitude, engagement, and behavior. In fact, it is truly mindblowing sometimes to see a whole other side of some of these kids.” Sharyn Tomasso, Sky View Middle School English Teacher & Champion, Leominster FY2019 ANNUAL REPORT 1 United Way YouthVenture Photo by Juniper Studios In 2002, the leaders of the United Way of North Central Massachusetts (UWNCM) shared a common vision when they identified that the North Central Massachusetts community was not meaningfully acting to help cultivate the next generation of leaders, volunteers, and philanthropists.
